To all whom ii may cemem:

Be it known that I, SYDNEY ASHBOWN, citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Vancouver, in the Province of British Columbia; :Canada have invented e new and: useful Heeling-Tackle, of which ihe following is a specification,

This ihvenlion relates to means for' remova bly eoiinecting load to o hauling Without an automatic release oflthe'na time here provided the week referred :0 15- both slow and iangerous; slow on account of vthe time involved in memialiy unfestening the sllng and (lisengagmgil from the load,

and dangerous as it is necessary to provieie a man who stationecl OR the pile to effect the release of the sling by which the load is atmchecl to the lmuline rope amlthe pile of heavy logs, elem, is vervunsh ble,

T he invention 1s partloulei'ly olesenbecl m the following specification reference being made to the'elmwings hy which it is accom- Figure l is genemlview showing the eutomatic securing means as applied to a log, Fig. 2, is a detail perspeetive view of a part of the mechanism shown in Fig. L Figs. and l are enlargefi details showing allowetive methods of connecting theslip loo? of the sling. I 1

In these drovings 2 representsa sling of wire rope or the like having a loop 3 at one end for attachment to ihe hook of :1 llighi 5) which is connected to a hauling rope 1G. The other oml of sling; 2 is sepamloly connected with ihe Ming itself ixilermeclielie of its endeas to form :12 slip-loop mound the load. This eonneeiion made loy e shackle member 5, 6 the eye 5 of which may be connecleil to the owl 4c of file sling and the jaw 6 with its pin 8 Jo emlwise movable on the body of the sling, the connection between the end i and the mtermedmte per- -jecterl lo excessive weer.

mm of the sling being slipped or diseozi nectecl by the withdrawal of the pin 8. 'lhe heed off-this pin 8 is connected by'a flight 13 to the haul back 11 at a short distance from the attachment of the flight; e to the healing rope, The haul back and hauling line may be one and the same rope Where the Weight of line is not too great but for the heavy work of the Pacific coasl the haul heel: line 11 is usually of much lighter Weigl l, as it is not required to endure the heavy pull of the haul but only to reeurn the Wire for a, fresh load.

' lnuse,lhe sling 2 being passed around the lo'ed and. the end 4 of the sling pin-connech ed to lhesame intermediate of its ends by the shackle 5,6 so as to form e sh around the loaol, the encl 3 oil-the sling is hooked to the flight 9 of the hauling rope l0 and flieflight 13 to which the pin 8 is 3V tacliecl iseomiecterl lo the place provided on lhe haul back 11. Pull in'the du'eclion of the alllQvl" Y time obviously tends io lighten the loop of the sling 2 on the loool, but when from engagement with the load and carry-- lug it to the other end of the line for attachment to another load. Not only is the load released from the tackle by which ii; is'secared to the hauling rope but'ib is drawn clear of it and remains attached to the heel mg line whlch 15 an important considerationin view of the fact that the operation re quires absolutely no personal attention. I

The pin 8 me oeova-l ezoss section so as to offer a larger surface wear or to avoid the wire rope being hem; Loo sharply around it. L a

The device is lmpiem QQIlStllllCtlQIl one has no, pert-s helole to ierengemem: or subin the modifications oi the inveniion shown in Fig. lithe loop 4% or; the slihg'll is connected by links Z to the shackle 5 whose ends 6 zero. aperture-o. lo receive the pin 8;,the emls e corresponie pur pose anal function to the en e-iothe Keno shown in Fig. 8. lo, filze form shown ,ie,

Fig. 4, the shackle 5 is connected to the sling 2 by a link 7 and a member 5 which hauling tackle and for automatically eflectg ing its release therefrom, a sling one end of which is connected by a flight to the hauling roge and a shackle and pin whereby the ot er end of the sling is connected to the sling intermediate of its ends and a fli ht connecting the shackle pin to the hauling rope a short distance from the attachment of the other end of the sling thereto.

2. As a means for connecting a load to a hauling line and for automatically effecting its release therefrom, the combination with the hauling rope, of a sling one end of which is connected to the hauling rope, a shackle and pin connecting the other end of the sling to the sling itself intermediate of its ends anda flight connecting the shackle pin to the hauling rope a short distance from the attachment of the other end ofthe sling thereto.

3. Asia means for connecting a load to a hauling line and for automatically effecting its release therefrom, a slin which is connected to thehau ing rope and the other end to the eye of a shackle and means for connecting the pin of theshackle to the hauling rope a short distance from the attachment of the other end of the sling thereto.

In testimony whereof I have signed. my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
